#seafoodgumbo #gumbo #food #cookingchannel Seafood and sausage gumbo is a southern comfort type of meal. Seafood and sausage gumbo is an all in one pot meal that can surely satisfy the heartiest of appetite. Gumbo in general is an excellent dish but what truly ties all the ingredients and love together is the "Roux". Gumbo is a true Nawlins/New Orleans staple as well as a Louisiana, and Mississippi pot of love just the same. Nothing says great childhood memories growing up in Louisiana like gumbo every bite just brings back the fondest of memories. Gumbo is one of those family traditions that never gets old with each pot brings forth great new memories with family generations today. Gumbo is one of those any day of the week staple dishes that makes you wanna spend time with family and friends making new memories. Gumbo is one of those one pot dishes that you can whip up fast as most of the ingredients we all tend to have readily available in the pantry, cupboards, and freezers.
